• Specialization on a new server ESXi 5

  I want to set up a new server ESXI 5.x for a customer and would like to clarify certain points, if you will allow me.

  1 ESXI 5.x supports up to 32 GB of RAM, correct?

  2. If I have a server with a processor image, I, from point of view of the ESXI, four CPU available is to allocate to the virtual methods, correct? And two quad-cores I'd have 8 CPU is to allocate to virtual methods?

  With ESXI 4.1 I found work two logics CPU very well support a CPU heavily used on a new HP Server as long as my other virtual methods are virtual demand as storage of data or Symantec Antivirus servers servers, etc..

  3. I asked earlier but it's not kosher to overallocate computer CPU? If I have a Quad Core processor and assign 8 Virtual CPU I overuse. Is it always a bad thing with 5.x?

  Thank you very much for the friendly help continues I go out here.

  The backup, you can certainly manually save or use in comments like Windows backup backup. I just wanted to talk because many people don't think that.

  Regarding commissioning, it depends on the workload as I've mentioned before and also depends on how to configure the virtual machines. If you have a 4 core CPU and configure the virtual machines with 4 vCPUs you may soon face questions. However, if you configure the VM with 1 vCPU (or maybe two for individual virtual machines), it would be possible to run 10 virtual machines or more without problems. Everything that you, remember that the host must also some resources.

• Better use of disk space on the server esxi (for data store)

  I have a HP Proliant DL380G6 which currently has 2 146 GB hard drives in a Raid0 configuration.  We quickly realize that this is not enough space for all of the virtual machine, we have running.

  Is there a way of 'clean' to add disks to this server - by this I want to say one where we don't have to add readers, and then reconfigure the raid5 raid card, and reinstall...

  And on a related issue (even if it may seem irrelevant):

  Some of our virtual machines are currently on a mounted NFS datastore that I want to spend in the local data store.  One of them has quite a few clichés that take up a lot of space.  What is the CORRECT way to migrate the virtual machine to the other local datastore, get rid of all snapshots (maintenance of the VM in its current state)?

  Believe it or not. . Just select Remove all.

  You are here is not a cliché. . It's your current state and not be deleted unless you select "go to" (note the different icon)

  (even if I understand your concern)

  If you are really nervous and wants to prove it to yourself, just test it on a virtual machine with no snapshots (create a snapshot, add a file, delete the snapshots and see if the files still exists)

• 5.5 HCL for Supermicro Server ESXi

  Hello world

  I plan to buy a Supermicro Server to run ESXi 5.5 on:

  1027R-WRF

  http://www.Supermicro.com/products/system/1U/1027/sys-1027R-WRF.cfm

  
  

  In the HCL, however it does not show ESXi 5.5 compatibility yet for this server. Is it because ESXi 5.5 is too new? It shows the ESXi compatibility for all other versions.

  
  

  Similarly, there are Supermicro servers that shows only 5.5 ESXi compatibility. As the

  SYS-1027R-WRFT +.

  Supermicro | Products | SuperServers | 1U | 1027R-WRFT +.

  
  

  AND

  
  

  SYS-6017R-TDF

  Supermicro | Products | SuperServers | 1U | 6017R-TDF

  
  

  But the difference between these servers (ESXi 5.5 and 5.1 ESXi servers) is almost negligible. Any advice?

  
  

  How stable has everyone seen ESXi 5.5 also be? I plan on execution of the processors 2xE5-2690v2 if I want to use the 5.5 ESXi free so that I am not limited to vCPUs how can I return my virtual machines. But reliability is also a concern since this version is so new. What would you recommend?

  
  

  Thank you
  

  Until the seller of the material to apply for certification for VMware, so the reason for not being on the HCL is not always that it does not work.

• Put network advise for new installation ESXi

  OK please bare with me as I'm still new in the world of "vmware". I am about to install our new server vm infrastructure and hoped some advice and guidance to make sure I understand the first time...

  I have two physical hosts with a new ESXi 4.1 installation. Each host has six physical gigabit NIC that I plan on the use of iSCSI and vmotion. I have also two HP without HP gigabit switches and two. On each host, I intend to configure the following networking:

  vSwitch0
  -the vm network

  -service console

  vswitch1
  -iscsi

  vswitch2

  -vmotion

  Each vswitch will have two physical cards for purposes of Multipathing (one network adapter for each HP switch). HP switches are not stacked as I like to keep independent and to avoid any downtime if a switch fails. Also, the HP without having two network cards and will be attached to each of the HP switches. I have two Setup VLANS on switches HP, the first vlan is part of my regular business network and the other is just for traffic iscis/vmotion.

  Before going any further... does that make sense and its sensitive so far?

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  I would follow the advice of Edward Haletky in "gears Blue - 6 NIC with VMware ESX physical."

  Good luck!

• How to allocate disk space for vCenter server logs

  Hello

  I plan to level 4.1 to 5.5 U2d vCenter on the customer site. One of the conditions set out in the vSphere upgrade guide is:

  "In vCenter Server 5.x, the default size for vCenter Server connects is larger than in vCenter Server 4.x. make sure that the disk space allocated for the log folder is sufficient for this increase 450MB."

  My question is how to allocate disk space for the log file and where can I find the disk space allotted to file papers to vCenter 4.1 existing?

  Just see the free space on the partition where the vCenter server logs are stored. If it is insufficient, increase the size of the virtual disk and then increase the file system to the guest OS.

• New server ESXi 5.5 - How do I know what my score /scratch physical device is on?

  I went to this page - http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1014953

  But unfortunately, it is not described how to match the UUID to a physical device.

  For example, our server has two cards SD with ESXi embedded installed and a RAID 1 of the 2 SATA drives.

  My boss asked me to make sure that the /scratch location is set to the spinning disks, rather than SD cards.

  I can see what VMFS/volume/my /scratch up to, but I have no idea if this volume is on the SD card or the RAID 1 spinning disk.

  I can't find a command that lists each UUID on each physical disk.

  It does not help that I'm not much more than a linux guru. =/

  Hi PeterBollwerk,

  Steps below should show you the location of the scratch on your esxi host. in this example, my esxi is executed in a double SD card in mirror.

• How to move the vm for VMware Server ESXi

  I have a host with ESXi 3.5 and I want to move virtual machines to a different machine with VMware Server 2.

  Any idea how to do to move the virtual machine?

  Thank you

  You can use VMware Converter (free copy).  When you install it convert you a machine and select the Virtual Machine of VMware Infrastructure as the virtual source then Machince as destination.

• movement of virtual machines on new server

  I'm fairly new to vmware and operate a very limited plant, but would like assistance.  I have the Essentials package and ESX 4.0 is running on a single server with the virtual machines stored on local hard disks.  I installed a new server ESXi 5.1 and local storage, and I need to move the virtual machines from the old server to the new server.  If it's important, the guest virtual machine operating system are a mixture of linux and windows.  What is the best method to move those VMs?

  Hello

  If you have the two host added to vCenter, you can turn off VMs and migrate virtual machines to another host and data store.

  Since you do not have a shared storage, you must turn off VM to change host and the data store.

  It doesn't matter what OS you are running on a virtual machine.

  Thank you

• VMWare Server 2.0 to ESXi 4.0 update?

  I have a system running VMWare Server 2.0 on RHEL 5.4.

  I would spend my VM to a new server ESXi 4.0 U1.

  Can I use the files on hard drive of the server 2.0 VMDK with ESX 4.0 Server?

  Thanks in advance.

  VMware server uses hardware version 7 by default. ESXi uses hardware version 4. You will need to use the converter to go beyond the material differences.

  I'm sorry that you have posted in the forum ESXi 3.5. ESXi 4 uses hardware version 7

• Media Center is Reporting insufficient disk space for each record programmed

  Since the upgrade to Windows 8 Media Center reports that there is not enough disk space for each scheduled TV recording despite there are currently more than 1 TB of free space. The programs record very well, but it is impossible to tell when it is a genuine issue (for example, a program conflict) as an indicator of each scheduled recording is also problematic.

  There is a simple solution to this in Media Center as an administrator (which implies that there may be a problem of permissions with Windows 8). However, I also use an XBox 360 as an Extender and there is no known method to apply this workaround to an Extender then it continues to be a lack of disk space for each unique record.

  I tried completely removing the recorded TV folder, followed by a reboot to allow Media Center services recreate the folder, but it does not solve the problem. I checked all the settings and Media Center reports that it has enough free space to save more than 400 hours of television, but he's still complaining lack of disk space for each individual scheduled recording.

  Any ideas?

  I found a solution that worked for me on another thread.

  See the post from Steve Scoltock on executing a recovery job in the computer management application, here:

• Add a new table to the server ESXi 4.1

  Hello

  I try to add a new table on a server ESXi 4.1.0. Is it possible to build the table and add it without restarting the host? The server is an HP ML350 G5. I installed ESXi 4.1 on a hard drive, but I did not install HP driver packages. Is there something I could install from ESXi that would give me the features of configuration of the berries, etc. ?

  Thanks for any help,

  Stem

  Although it is possible (but unsupported) to install tools RIAD on ESXi (see VMware experience before: how to run the CLI of the ACU online HP for Linux in ESXi 4.x) you might have to restart the host still. Reading messages earlier, it would be also better to add the new table by using the ACU (Array Configuration Utility) rather than the ORCA (Option ROM Configuration for arrays). Of these posts, it looks like ORCA could possibly reorganize RAID sets, resulting in a non bootable host.

• Transfer of virtual machines from a server ESXi 3.5 to new ESXi 4.1 server. What is the procedure.

  I read on how to transfer a virtual machine from one server to another using VMotion. Not 100% clear on the process again. What I see or read is when you do this since an ESXi 3.5 Server ESXi 4.1 server, I do not see any information on, if possible. In addition, I have not read if I need to convert or upgrade the virtual machine until I use it on the new server. So, my question is, are there any special instructions, conversion tools to convert a VM created 3.5 to use on the new Server 4.1? Is there a detailed procedure that I have not yet found or read best describes this process. Like I said up to now I'm not 100% clear on the procedure. Thank you.

  ESX 3.5 VMs can run without modification on a host ESXi 4.1 - VMotion between the two hosts, you will stiil need to ensure CPU compatibility between the hosts.

  Maybe it's the best guid for upfrading to vSphere - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_upgrade_guide.pdf
